Hello - I wrote a new blog about the teaching of whole class reading, which I haven't in a while. It's over 9000 words so quite a read, but I hope the comprehensive nature of it comes across as helpful, rather than patronising. Anyway - hope it's useful!

NEW STUDY shows, yet again, that schoolchildren who speak more than one languages tend to perform better, including in subjects such as English.
Speak all the languages you can to your child(ren).

Yesterday, we welcomed our new students and all of their #languages to @ishthehaguenl. How do you say #culture in your language? #Multilingualism is always celebrated at the #ISH!
It’s the nature of #international schools to have a large number of students and staff leave each year. Here at #ISH, the #EAL department keeps a memory of them by creating an art piece which includes their fingerprint and name. They leave their mark on us in many ways!
The Year 5 team held its closing #BonVoyage IPC exit point by creating travel booths about #sustainable holidays. Persuasive advertisements were presented authentically to parents in the language of the country and English. #AllLanguagesMatteratISH

One of our teachers in the #earlyyears1 using #GoogleTranslate in a lesson to support a student new to #English. Her clear and concise instructions explaining a task in #opinionwriting not only benefits the new #ELL, but all the other students in her class. #alllanguagesmatter

From letmeknowhowitgoes on IG: “Yesterday, I was talking to teachers about how we might help students to notice when they are distracted and name the distraction as a way to mindfully pivot. I played around with this student-facing chart today.”
ALT Hand-drawn chart titled "I'm having a hard time learning because..." with 6 options, each paired with an illustration. 1) the window, 2) classmates, 3) classroom noise, 4) materials, 5) daydreaming, 6) other (pencil sharpener, intercom, other distractions)
ALT Hand-drawn chart titled "To get myself back into learning, I can..." with 6 options, each paired with an illustration. 1) Move my body or space, 2) Set a goal, 3) Take a quick break, 4) Find a "silent teacher," 5) Make a plan, 6) Other (headphones, fidget item, study carrel)

Combining #books & #nature, my closest butterfly is this one!
Here's to hoping that someday my #Greek will be good enough to be able to read my gorgeous, πεταλούδα-themed book!

Go looking for caterpillars and butterflies, and name them in as many languages as you can - alternative, read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and check words in different languages throughout :) #30DaysWildMultilingual
